Summary

Pastor Louie Giglio sits down with Carey Nieuwhof, author, podcaster, and one of the most trusted voices in church leadership, to unpack the cultural and spiritual shifts reshaping the Church today. Carey and Louie explore why Gen Z is hungry for something real and transformative, what the data says about who's actually showing up on Sundays, and how chasing success to the top can leave you empty-handed. From the state of marriage and relationships to the Church's greatest opportunity in a transactional world, this conversation is a call to lean into your calling with clarity, courage, and hope for the future.

1:41.0	you, we did a house swap because, you know, as a poor pastor, couldn't afford a
1:45.6	vacation. So we swapped with another pastor and his wife. They took our house in Canada. We went to their
